The Zonotone AVSP-1200Q Meister is a remarkably capable entry-level bi-wiring speaker cable that proves Japanese manufacturing excellence need not come at a premium. At its core is a four-core, two-material hybrid conductor pairing Zonotone's proprietary tin-plated OFC with high-purity OFC, arranged in a two-layer multi-strand construction with each core measuring 0.94 mm². This configuration is specifically designed to support star-quad wiring, which cancels unwanted electromagnetic noise and maintains low impedance even over longer cable runs — a feature rarely found at this price point. The cable is finished with a low-friction PVC sheath and RoHS-compliant PVC insulation, bringing the outer diameter to a manageable 7.5 mm. The AVSP-1200Q Meister occupies the accessible end of the Zonotone range, yet it carries the same meticulous Japanese craftsmanship and performance-first philosophy as its costlier siblings. For those seeking a genuine step up from generic speaker wire without venturing into flagship territory, it represents an astute balance of sonic integrity and practical value.
Pairs well with our speaker cables range and the Meister SP-440.
